I love english for its lego like quality, you can easily put word together and get something new and you get the meaning right away.

Can't say French is good for that though.
I once had a job translating popular english meme in French, and it was a pain. French is much more verbose.

One thing I find hilarious in French though is some people when enraged will tell you to "eat your dead" ( Mange tes morts ) . It feels like a weird mix of go fuck your mother and eat your soup to me.
I think it comes from the Gypsy community.
